Togo drank Yunnan "Black Gold Bi Luo Chun" Black Tea * Spring 2017 by Yunnan Sourcing

1006 tasting notes

One of the nicest Yunnan black teas I have had a chance to try. The smell has the usual notes of malt and chocolate, but also some apple and yeast.

It’s a full bodied and smooth tea. Not too much of bitterness or astringency to be found, but it’s also not super sweet like some other Yunnan blacks. I don’t find it very complex, but it is really yummy and easy to drink. It pairs well with lighter cheeses like some goat cheeses.

Flavors: Apple, Dark Chocolate, Earth, Malt, Sweet Potatoes, Yeast

Preparation

195 °F / 90 °C 1 min, 0 sec 5 g 4 OZ / 120 ML

Hi, I am a researcher in math, physics and computer science. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds. Connect at https://rateyourmusic.com/~Togo

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
